    If tor is only used by people in difficult circumstances, it is targetable. The bad guys flood the network with compromised nodes, overwhelm clean nodes, and pretty soon, the network is useless for exactly the people who need it.

    The way tor works, it is more valuable to those people when it is used primarily by people who don't need it.

        They can track VPNs as Tor traces comparing the incoming and outgoing, making noise helps to make this more difficult for them.

          Absolutely no sarcasm intended. I had just never thought of it that way.
